You don’t need to be a scientist to enter, but you’ll feel like one when you leave!

Gear up with a lab coat, gloves and goggles and travel through experiment stations in both English and Spanish. This hands-on exhibit is free for current members, and an additional $3 per person for non-members with the purchase of general admission to The Health Museum. The DeBakey Cell Lab is recommended for ages 7 and up due to the complexity of the experiments. All guests, ages 13 and under, must be accompanied by an adult.

The DeBakey Cell Lab is a distinct, new kind of museum experience. Honorably named after the respected and accomplished medical pioneer, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, this bilingual exhibit is designed to introduce biology-based science to the public and inspire future scientists and science-lab leaders in the medical field.
